We get average       3-5" of rain per month here , and the soil here has quite a bit of clay       . I've been adding organic matter for a few years now and it'd getting a       lot better . It still packs quickly though . Fortunately there is a       slope to the ground so there is not a problem with standing water .       --       Snag        It's great to be straight !              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
